Herman Trabish of Greentech Media has happened across a pretty interesting find — 97 % of new
electricity generation capacity in line to be added to the California grid in the second half (2H) of 2012 is from solar power projects.
«The leadership shown by Alberta's government to replace two - thirds of existing coal -
fired electricity generation capacity with renewable energy will greatly help the province in achieving its ambitious climate change objectives,» adds Hornung.

The Ghana Grid Company Limited (GRIDCo) has announced that the country will enjoy stable power supply in the coming weeks as Ghana's
electricity generation capacity now exceeds demand at peak periods.
It will require China to deploy an additional 800 - 1,000 gigawatts of nuclear, wind, solar and other zero emission generation capacity by 2030 — more than all the coal - fired power plants that exist in China today and close to total
current electricity generation capacity in the United States.
Forum participants also heard about new wind energy procurement in Saskatchewan as it moves to 50 per
cent electricity generation capacity from renewable energy by 2030, and how the industry is well - positioned to deliver new affordable, emissions - free electricity to Ontario and Quebec when it is needed.
The seven currently operating SEGS III - IX plants have a
combined electricity generation capacity of nearly 357 MW, making them one of the largest solar thermal electric power facilities in the world.
A similar trend is evident in the United States, where wind energy was the largest source of new electricity generation in 2014 and represented 28 per cent of all new
electricity generation capacity additions in the United States between 2010 - 2014 — second only to natural gas.
However, since the last IEA CHP / DHC Country Scorecard, progress has been relatively slow — CHP capacity as a share of total
national electricity generation capacity has remained stagnant, and some hurdles still exist.
Because despite adding
considerable electricity generation capacity in the last decade, India's energy supply is still not meeting its huge growing demand, and a lack of supply and infrastructure issues means the price of grid electricity is rapidly rising.
India currently has approximately 205 gigawatts (GW) of coal -
fired electricity generation capacity, this will soon be augmented by 113 GW of new coal - fired capacity currently under construction..
Hydropower a decade ago was the leading source of power, contributing more than half of the country's
electricity generation capacity — which perhaps explains why the cost of buying power is now high following the reversal in the country's power generation capacity.
This is a valuable long - view chart from the Energy Information Administration showing how natural gas plants and wind turbines have been the dominant sources of new
electricity generation capacity in the United States in recent years.

a electricity generation capacity of 92 megawatts (MW), began operation in 1990.
India's nationally determined contribution (NDC) under the Paris Agreement targets 40 %
electricity generation capacity in 2030 from non-fossil sources.
Green interventions, such as solar water heaters, insulated ceilings, heat insulation cookers and efficient indoor lighting, were found to deliver a far higher return on investment to the public purse than similar investments in new
electricity generation capacity would deliver.
Recent additions to thermal (mostly coal)
electricity generation capacity in India, with future capacity additions based on reported expected completion dates of power stations under construction or in planning.

the electricity generation capacity retired in the U.S. last year.
Scottish Power argues that under current market rules if a DSR CMU (Capacity Market Unit - «a unit of
electricity generation capacity or electricity demand reduction that can then be put forward in a future Capacity Market auction» according to the government definition), consisting of energy storage, is located behind the meter (BTM) it will not be subject to duration de-rating.
Ghana is attempting to achieve
an electricity generation capacity goal of 5,000 MW by 2016.
According to the latest «Energy Infrastructure Update» report from the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission's Office (FERC), 92.1 % of new
electricity generation capacity in the US in January through March of 2014 came from renewable energy sources.
